“You can punish us however you want; we won’t betray our master or hide anything from him when he asks! However, we didn’t go into the details. On your account, we didn’t reveal anything specific even though we’ve got detailed information about that woman’s background.”
“Oh?” He shot them a look. “And what info is that?”
“That woman is likely to be the long-lost eldest miss of the Gong family. We’ve looked into her background and ascertained her identity.”
His eyes glinted. “How did you manage to get your hands on that information?”
“It’s not hard to check one’s background once we know their facial features.”
Their search was unlike how Gong Jie previously searched aimlessly for his sister sans a clue, which was indubitably akin to searching a needle in a haystack.
It was easy enough for anyone with a bit of connection, let alone a powerful and influential family like the Gongs, to investigate a person based on their target person’s features, especially since Yun Shishi was a public figure with a certain amount of fame.
“…”
He broke the silence after a moment. “So what did you say to my father?”
“The grandmaster asked about your whereabouts, but we only told him that you seem to be on intimate terms with a lady. He thinks that she’s your lover.”
…
“…Achoo!”
Located at the capital, Yun Shishi suddenly let out a sneeze.
Early that morning, she arrived at the venue of the kickoff ceremony as informed by her manager the prior night.
“Shouldn’t it be held a few days later?” The actress voiced out her confusion to her manager, only to hear him say that the staff responsible for organizing the kickoff ceremony had made a blunder and picked the wrong date. Thus, when they realized the mistake, they called everyone at night to inform them that it would be held the next day, instead.
“Tomorrow’s an auspicious day! There are no other better days after this date.”
It was held at a village located next to a mountain pass, where the capital faction’s historic buildings were still being preserved. It had apparently undergone renovation, though. Despite the village retaining its ancient allure, many modern elements had been added, which made the view more unique.
This village would be where they would film the female protagonist growing up.
The moment she arrived there, she noticed Gu Xingze, wearing sunglasses, being surrounded by a horde of reporters, and saw his aloof yet handsome-looking face at a glance.
Her expression relaxed a little.
She heard the news last night; he had been cast as the male lead while Hua Jin would join the production team as the second male lead.
As soon as the superstar’s ban was lifted, he posted a tweet on Weibo to announce that he had been cast in a new drama.
Having suspected that he might have silently left the showbiz industry at one point, his fervent fans were moved to tears when they knew of his comeback,
The appeal of the heavenly king was just unstoppable!
In no time, that tweet topped the search rankings, fully displaying his extraordinary popularity, despite him having silently vanished and been banned from the industry for the past few months.
She was sincerely happy for the superstar when she learned about this from her manager last night.
The actress was in a daze when Hua Jin walked up to her and tapped her on the shoulder. “Shishi, you’re here!”
“Mm!”
She turned around, only to see him standing right before her with a big, mesmerizing smile on his face.
“Good morning.”
To which, the actor retorted, “It’s not morning anymore.”
